Well if this is true, and the Lagares stuff is true, then this is a rather fascinating predicament.  2 40-man spots would need to be cleared.

Yeah, very strange.  It doesn't seem like they have anyone they could move to the 60-day IL, either.  I don't really see anyone on the 40-man who's clearly worse than the other lower-tier guys.

Really?  Other than that first outing, he's been serviceable-to-very good.

[jsnpritchett]

Brendan Davis, perhaps? (Sorry, Chuck...)  Just thinking of him because the Angels currently have so many options (not all of them great, obviously--but just saying there ARE options) at MIF/3B.

Alright. Who's going on the IL?

[tdawg87]

His name sounds like someone with asthma trying to say barracuda.

[jsnpritchett]

Oh--or DFA Buttrey, maybe?

Diaz might be getting sent down. I think with the scheduled days off this month I don’t think we will be needing a 6th starter until June.

Meh….3 not so great outings since April19th, including the other night in Boston…. but I can’t say Barraclough is better….both just a guy….

But you'd still need to clear space on the 40-man roster.

Sounds like a Canadian pronouncing bear claw.

Don't know much about Barraclough besides the fact that a friend of mine who is a Cardinals fan was absolutely livid about them trading him for Cishek

Weird.  They still need to make 40-man moves.

...or not!  So COVID for both.

 

[Revad]

This is weird So there’s a provision for Covid IL, so Wallach wouldn’t need one but Barraclough would is what I was thinking.

Ok then.

Thought Wallach was on the 40 man already
